Its been a good week here, we are now the oldest district in our zone. My companion and I got a new Elder for a day. He was in the district above us and had been waiting on a visa. They told him to go ahead and go with his district to the airport because there was a good chance he would have it by then, but he didn't. So he got back to the MTC and got put with us. An hour after he got here they called him down to the travel office to tell him that his visa was now approved. He left the following morning. Its good he didn't have to wait too long, but it sucks that he missed flying out with his district by an hour.
The devotionals this week were really good. The speaker for Sunday was Stephen B Allen, the director of the MTC or something of the sort. We've had him once before, he's really good. He had the media people show everyone in the overflow and then selected ten people from the overflow to stand up and tell something they had sacrificed to be here. The first guy said marriage. Bro Allen asked him what became of his girlfriend, the Elder replied "she's here." Turns out they decided to come in together, they showed her on camera, she was in the main building. The rest of his talk was about resisting Satan's tempatations and serving a mission in manner that when we are done, the Lord can tell us "Well done my good and faithful servant."
Tuesday's was equally good. We had Elder Snow from the presidency of the seventy. He talked about happiness, we have a message of joy, and we need to be glad while sharing it. Also he said that "With hard work, things will work out." If we do our part then the Lord will bless us, both on and of a mission.
I'm running out of time, only have 4mins left so the rest will be scattered.
Steph, bummer about the snow storms. We had been having good weather here, the snow was melting and we could see green again, but then we had a snow storm. *face palm* A yoga class? that will be interesting to do pregnant, good luck.
